Tal Orion was an integrate contributor in every facet of planning our wedding on September 1, 2013. We met Tal a year before our wedding and from the first meeting we immediately clicked as she exuded warmth, professionalism and poise. She cam...e in with a lot of great ideas, but more importantly she listened to our wants and needs and really got to know us as a couple. She helped create our vision of our special day.
Tal immediately had a list of referrals for us from DJ, caterers, florists, photographers, even down to makeup and hair. She took the initiative to set up meetings and planned them wherever it was most convenient for us (usually in the comfort of our own home). She was always on time, if not early, to ever meeting and was always organized. Tal was prepared with questions that we may not have thought to ask, and was our note taker to remember what was discussed at meetings. Tal kept us organized with 'to do lists', timelines, and she created vendor lists of contact information, timetable for day of, and ceremony order for those involved. Her time management skills were invaluable and she was always available to us at any time via phone, texts and emails. She was gracious and clear in her dealings with all parties involved in the wedding (i.e., vendors, parents, Rabbi, venue, etc.). She held meetings with most of our vendors at the venue before the wedding to review placements and details. She was involved in dealing with our caterer and making sure our contracts were correct and clear to us.
Tal ran the day of our wedding flawlessly and effortlessly. She managed to create an elegant event that truly represented us, and she did it within our tight budget. If there were any challenges the day of the wedding, we did not know about them or were at ease that Tal would be there to fix them. She allowed us to have a magical night to enjoy with all our friends and family.
What sets Tal apart and made us appreciate her as much more than just our wedding planner was her warmth, love and passion for what she does and getting to know us as a couple and not just her clients. Without exaggeration, we owe our wedding day success to Tal. We would recommend Tal without hesitation to anyone looking for an event planner.
